We might actually get a decent movie if Lucas is not the one directing. Its a good thing and a bad thing at the same time, disney let marvel get on with stuff pretty much so hopefully they do the same with star wars and it actually becomes good again.

Just so long as they don't touch any of the original films and make changes to previous lore (Except for destroying Jar Jar Binks). I hope they'll handle this franchise intelligently and not bollox it up. They mustn't fail, the consequences are to severe to do so!

You don't want to know what happened the last time someone failed. (Force chocked).

Andy Shandy:Wait, they get LucasArts as well? Does this give more hope to the likes of Battlefront 3 or am I just an idiot?

Battlefront 3 works into that bloodless combat thing that Disney has been doing in its games. I mean they bring it back Give it press and it turns out to be good? thats a FPS competitor with CoD... Also the Resources to make actual X-wing/TIE fighter remakes? That is being a hopeful optimistic Idiot. which i am...

Xan Krieger:A 4th star wars movie? Wow, thought that series was done after the 3rd movie. Also please make a Knights of the Old Republic 3.

LucasArts didn't make KOTOR, Bioware did. Actually, they made the first one, Oblivion made the second. Play The Old Republic when it's f2p, it's close enough to get you your fix.

BreakfastMan:There is a difference, methinks, between getting a new actor to play a younger version of a character and new one to play an older version...

Methinks they do what they did with the Marvel movies, and make a happy medium. You takes bits and pieces of the canon already there, and make movies that fit the narrative. So you have it set 30-40 years later, give the original stars cameos, but focus the story on either new characters or their kids. Put in narratives about family legacies, introduce Darth Krayt and the Yuuzhan Vong, and you could legitimately fire up the popularity of the IP again.

Foolproof:I do hope they can actually keep George Lucas in a significant role, it feels like he brought something to the prequels that made me enjoy them more than the originals.

unfortunately for you, a large number of people disagree, and as such his involvement might piss off more people, and therefore lose sales. So it's likely he will get relegated to a smaller role to appease the "apparent" masses displeased with what he did after the original trilogy. (i say "apparent" because as far as i know, the number of angry complainers is smaller than i thought. the internet is not great for taking census)

Jeez, what's next? Disney acquires Nintendo? Then be broken up under anti-monopoly laws for having a monopoly over childhood?

I'm not sure how I feel about this. I mean it seems like Disney has had a good relationship with Star Wars in the past so why not. Hey you never know. Could be Avengers awesome or John Carter flop. Disney has interesting record to say the least.

And an equally large number agree.

The fanbase for the prequels is as large as the fanbase for the originals, it just happens to be less made up of over-opinionated nerds who refuse to shut the fuck up.

Anyway, Disney has proven time and again they don't really give a crap what the whiny fanbases say, they do what makes them money. Remember, they made Cars 2.

yeaaaah, i never saw cars 2. don't really want to either.

anyway, this whole situation ought to be interesting, so let's see where it goes

I'm not sure how I feel about this, it's not as if they can do any worse than Jar Jar Binks, but I know this will still lead to new generations of terrible memes. Well if they do make more films, I hope they go Old Republic, because that's been a good period for the game settings in general.
